Petrified Wood - Inert Rock
The Kevin Osborne series of articles on a planted tank now appearing in FAMA
contradicts some of the conventional wisdom I've read here and in other
sources. For example, I thought it odd that Osborne would so easily discard
the notion of "any" substrate additives, given that the use of laterite has
such a well established success rate, regardless of whether anybody really
understands why. But I was most surprised at his recommendation to use
petrified wood in a planted tank. Is petrified wood always non-calcerous? Is
it always inert? What other rocks are tank safe?
